Bols Ballerina Bottles

Jun 3, 2010

Bols Ballerina bottles were made in the Netherlands from 1957 through 1978. They are not exactly uncommon – they were made by the tens of thousands per year! This decanter features a dancing ballerina who dances to the tune of The Skater’s Waltz or Le Bleu Danube.

It seems like lots of people are looking for the value of these bottles since many were given as gifts and keepsakes. I recently ran a search of completed auctions on ebay.com and found the following:

Empty bottles in good condition sell in the $5-10 range.

Full bottles sell in the $50 to $100 range. The price varies depending on whether they are still sealed and whether you have the original box and it is in good condition

Found in a misc. box at a auction a Bols Ballerina Bottle in amazing shape but not worth top dollar by what I read. Mine has no label or top/seal,but the bottle and music box/ballerina are in perfect order. the music is Le Bleu Danube the blonde ballerina has a white dress with black polka dots. I had never heard of these or saw any thing similar, to me it would make a great conversation piece on my mantle. Since everything has a price, if any one is interested you can e mail me at barrettron8@gmail.com. I could e mail you a picture. I do have things on my mantle that have worn out their welcome and of course would have to consult with my precious wife.

I have a Bols Ballerina liqueur bottle, still sealed, music box still works, ballerina still moves up and down and spins, but NO liquer in the bottle. Anyone interested or can tell me it’s value. My ballerina has a red skirt, gold slippers, and her top is gold she has brown hair. Thank you.
